Abstract
In a trunked radio data communications system using half-duplex radios, plural data messages are exchanged over a single RF working channel using a technique where a working channel repeater assigned to a data call sends status messages to both the data originating radio and the data receiving radio indicating which radio is currently enabled to transmit a data message over the working channel. Each time the currently enabled radio sends a data message to the working channel repeater, the repeater changes the status message so that the other radio can respond. As a result, data messages can be efficiently and reliably exchanged over the same working channel without collision or having to request and set up a new working channel for each data message.
